Birthday Boy Pancakes!

After a not so full month of work I decited to come home for a little - plus - it is my dads' birthday toay! I am more than glad I got off work today for being home to celebrate with my family. After numerous tragic events lately, it was a good vacation being surrounded by my loved ones those!

Anyways we got to make great memories again at my aunties birtday last week and are fully in for all the preparations to celebrate daddy's tonight! What's inertnationally the best way to celebrate anthing? Right. Food!

Currently we prepared numerous salads, garlic butter and bread to have with our BBQ goods tonight! So most of the preperations were done already early in the morning. 

Talking about the early morning we need to talk about them pancakes! As I am a well known foodie at my house of course I was in charge to create something special, tasty and by the way healthy to have for breakfast. Well ... no problem ;)

Luckily I already wanted to try a new pancake recipe - do you see how I am slowly overcoming my anxiety towards pancakes? Aaaaaaaand it turned out to be amazing! Perfect consistancy, perfect sweetness and look at them macros girl! 

This recipe I am showing you I found at Kais' Instagram - he does an amazing job at cooking and baking, I simply love his recipes!

Pancakes (feed around 3-4):

• 3 eggs , 2 eggwhites
• 150g quark
• 180g oats
• 60g protein
• 3 bananas
• 1 pck baking powder which I forgot and it still tasted great

1. Blend together all ingredients, add some liquid if you feel like you have to and bake them out in a slightly greased pan.
2. Enjoy a stack of pure deliciousnes! <3

I am not often impressed. Even less often by Pancakes. To be honest I literally gave up o that topic... After trying it over and over to find -not even a perfect- maybe just a well working pancake recipe, that could also be halfway healthy, macrofriendly and with most protein possible - I JUST GAVE UP. Over and over I ended up with some sort of sad looking doughball in my pan - which I still wanted to eat - because I thought 'c'mon just 'cause it's ugly it's not going to taste shitty...'

Well... it did taste shitty. And the topic pancakes was well done for me - never again. I satteled for Waffles. These needed a lot less attention, you just pour in the freggin dough and wait for the pan to do it's job! Anyways waffles are just pancakes with abs, so that defenitly worked for me!

Just until last night happened. I literally have no idea what it is that remotivates me to try and have some pancakes. Well this time I was probably just craving them reeeeeally bad. Unfortunaty I was also short on my protein that day, having eaten a large percentage of carbs all over...

Thanks to the internet I scrolled around and found something that I would defenitly call 'The Unreal Recipe'. After all them fails I had to account I was a hundred percent sure this would never - ever - work. So I had to give it a try. 

Don't you dare judging me on my logic! It got me where I am today!

You might be guessing it - this giant single serve pancake which I got by deviding the ingredients by two was perfect! Perfectly well tasting ( allthough I gotta admit it defenitly does not taste like the sweet and sugary original - but for latenight cravings that will fit your macros it will do ;) , perfect consistancy and great size! It baked more than well and I almost had no work with it. The only con was that it turned dark very fast but that - I gotta admit - was my fault anyways.

You might have not been getting around noticing that I am mentioning the macros a shit ton of times. Well, attentively you! Are you ready for these? Well I'm gonna throw them at you anyways:

1 serving: 185cal 5.5 carbs 0.3 fat 33.2 protein!!

So if you - just like me almost every night- are a little short on your proteins by nighttime, you should defnitly try this! the great thing about pancaks is that you can top them with whatever you desire. This way hitting your fat or carb goals on the midnight snack isn't going to be hard either. I myself topped this little friend with some PB2 and crunshy homemade chocolate-nut muesli!

So enough of the talkig I am going to finally hit you up with the recipe for these beauties:

Single Serve Pancake:

• 50g greek jogurt
• 2 eggwhites
• half  a scoop protein of your choice

1. Heat up your pan while you are whisking up all ingredients.
2. Bake your pancakes to the desired - or even undesired- golden brown color
3. Enjoy your treat <3

Fresh and tropical summer salat

Well hello fitfam!

Summer has finally reached us over here at Germany so we might as well use them two days to make a lot of nicecream, cold berry refreshers and what would summer be without salads? I seriously don't eat anything else at all around summertime because to be honest - it's so damn hot I don't even want to think about warm food! So as soon as I came back from my last trip I decited to make a not-so-boring-salad. Apparently this actually-very-simple-salat turned out to be a damn-this-tastes-so-good-salad! So here I am - the nice person you know, sharing my new favorite salat recipe!

I actually wanted to go for pineapple instead of mango but all the pineaplles at the store just looked to unripe for the little sweet tooth girl I am. I defnetly think this was a great idea, still if you would prefer pinapple go ahead, try it and come back to leave me a comment on how it was!

... sorry for semi-very-bad-quality...

Tropical Summer Salat (Serves 2-3):

•  1 small can (160g) Corn
•  1 bound spring onion
•  1 salat heart (or any other salat you prefer)
•  1 mango 
•  4 celery sticks
•  200g peas ( I was using frozen ones)
•  8 slices chicken breast

•  1-2 Tbsp greek jogurt
•  1 Tsp mustard
•  a splash of apple cider vinegar and one picklewater
•  seasonnings to taste

1. Chop up all your ingredients as finly as possible. The key to this salad is that everything is very small, that way you catch a lot of flavor in one bite!
2. Drain your corn and mix it in with all the other ingredients.
3. Mix the ingredients for the dressing seperatly. I was using salt, pepper, red onion, garlic powder and salat greens to bring in a little spice. Also I added a splash of lemon.
4. Bring everything together and have yourself a delicious meal!
